90% appreciated the ample storage capacity
I easily added a 32 GB memory card to ensure that the device would serve my needs for years to come.

The device's intuitive interface and precise navigation make every journey easy.
The menus are easier to use and the device is more responsive.
It took me at least ten frustrating minutes to figure it out when I switched places with my passenger. It's very unintuitive.
